Description Probably as close as I'm gonna get to an OC character lineup for '09, but hey! At least I managed to get these ALL done while at work! (progressively over several shifts, of course) haha

So from top-left, to top-right, then bottom-left to bottom-right:

Makai, Raven, Malus, Kat,
Myra, Rouge, Brad, and Mia.

All of these were sketched in pencil first, then outlined and coloured with PrismaColor markers.

Took ~1.5 hours each.

Do you always walk around with a big prisma colour pack and a tiny notebook in your pocket? xD

Wow, you're awesome with markers~! And your OCs look so great!

If you don't mind me asking, what colors do you use to shade skin, in general?

Sabtastic In reply to LilSasami13 [2009-11-18 06:40:06 +0000 UTC]

Hey, thanks. :3
..Uh. Generally I mix it up, but with Prismacolor, I tend to use really muted oranges and pinks --

Sepia - (dark brown) is what I use to outline and for very very dark shadows (instaid of using black)
Putty - (kind of a light orange-grey) for the base shading when I finish my 'sepia' outline. It's good to work from dark to light when working with Prisma.
Brick White - (a lighter plain grey) to add definition to shadows and blend them nicely with the Putty color.
Sand (or) Eggshell - Which is the flat 'skin' tone that I flesh everyhing out with, after everything is all nice and shaded! ^^

lol Hope that helps!
..Prismacolors are kind of expensive, and to be honest, kinda useless when you only have like 4, but they're really worth it once you work up a good collection. I think i've got about 30 now, and I use them all the time. ^^

Another really handy tool when making skin tones is the Colorless Blender marker. It's just a clear smudge marker. If you scribble over two colours side by side, it'll slowly bleed them together, and even lighten up spots if you keep scribbling for a long time. Very nice when you want to add shine to hair, or a face.

Thanks!

c: It really does help.

I have a ton of markers, but I've only used light peach and sand to shade skin, and it doesn't work out too well. :/

There's a marker? I have a colorless blender pencil which seems to work better on my markers than on colored pencils.

I'll have to try those, then. Thanks very much, again! c:

Despite me not knowing who any of these people are, FANTASTIC JOB. You should draw more, are they related to each in any ways, say friendship?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Sabtastic In reply to Vlaskiyov [2009-09-22 01:21:47 +0000 UTC]

hehe. Well, there's a stupid-long detailed list of ways that they're somehow related to eachother.. Either by friendship, by blood, by a random encounter, rivals, etc.

I'm sure I'd end up ranting and send you a huge wall of text if I got into all the detail, so I'll spare you.

But yeah! Thanks for enjoying and for the kind words! C:

The only think that's bugging me, just the tiniest little bit, is Rouge's left eye. I think it may be too high on her face, given the angle of her head? Everything else is fucking sweet.

I love the closeup of their expressions, makes me wonder what the rest of their body is posed like.
